✓ | ✓ | ? |
💡 Tip: Tables with Ingestion API support allow data ingestion via the Azure Monitor Data Collector API, which also enables custom transformations during ingestion.
Permissions
Resource Provider Permissions: - Workspace (Workspace): Read and Write permissions are required.
Setup Instructions
⚠️ Note: These instructions were automatically generated from the connector's user interface definition file using AI and may not be fully accurate. Please verify all configuration steps in the Microsoft Sentinel portal.
1. Set up your GCP environment
You must have the following GCP resources defined and configured: topic, subscription for the topic, workload identity pool, workload identity provider, and service account with permissions to get and consume from the subscription. To configure this data connector, execute the following Terraform scripts: 1. Setup Required Resources: Configuration Guide 2. Setup Authentication: Authentication tutorial. Note: If Authentication is already setup using another GCP data connector , kindly skip this step and use the existing service account and workload identity pool.

2. Setup Authentication: Authentication tutorial. Note: If Authentication is already setup using another GCP data connector , kindly skip this step and use the existing service account and workload identity pool.
- Tenant ID: A unique identifier that is used as an input in the Terraform configuration within a GCP environment.: TenantId
Note: The value above is dynamically provided when these instructions are presented within Microsoft Sentinel.
2. Enable VPC Flow Logs
In your GCP account, navigate to the VPC network section. Select the subnet you want to monitor and enable Flow Logs under the Logging section.
